Dear HENNERY SMITH,

We deeply appreciate you for your ten wonderful years of service at Miller’s. To show our deep appreciation, we are inviting you to dinner this coming Friday at the Bluebay Hotel and Resort and award you with the “Ten Years of Service” pin.

When we first hired you at Miller’s as a trainee, we saw a great future in you. Since you were promoted to manager, you’ve exceeded all our expectations. The sales record of your department has not been equaled, and your subordinates speak well of you. We, at Miller’s, believe that your contributions are valuable, and we are hoping for your continued service.
